community members,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I've posted a summary
report on my outreach as OSMF board chair since January to
various stakeholders in the OSM community to my diary at

reads as follows:</font></p>

new year began, the OSM Foundation chair started contacting
members of the OSM community writ large to collect information
on the state of the community and project, and to assess
attitudes toward the Board’s work. Most conversations were
confidential in order to ensure that respondents would speak
openly, frankly, and honestly (and it is the chair’s sense
that virtually all of them did, and in fact some of them were
quite brutally frank about the Board’s perceived
shortcomings). Thus, this report will not detail “who said
what”. It will, rather, tend more to aggregate viewpoints
expressed during the conversations, with illustrative but
unattributed quotes.</p>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">My thanks to all
respondents to date, and thanks in advance to those I will
contact in the future as this outreach effort continues.</font></p>
